< I wonder what Abbe Sensei would think :-(
MayoShinDo Karate – KyuShinDo Karate – KyuShinDo Judo.
This Group `` MayoShinDo`` has no association with Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. This group are teaching various martial arts and calling them KyuShinDo. They are attempting to convey to an unsuspecting public that they are somehow students with a connection to the legendary Budo Master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei…This group have no concept of the true meaning of the teachings of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. It should be known that they have no connection or association with Abbe Sensei.. Mr Mayo had a one off visit to York Hall where he met Abbe Sensei and presented a rather `laughable ` demonstration, as referred to by Robin Otani Sensei the President of the BJC….This was also confirmed in a recent letter by Mrs Teresa Reeve the widow of Bill Reeve Sensei who was Abbe Sensei’s first secretary and personal aide..Both these letters can be read lower down the page.
This group’s claims are based on a one off letter reluctantly written by Bill Reeve Sensei to Mr Mayo and signed by Abbe Sensei ( see Mrs Reeve’s letter ) . This insidious group have claimed to have ``bin bags `` full of proof which they will soon make public, that was over five years ago, as of today NOTHING, emails and enquiry’s are ignored.
It is insulting to the genuine students of Abbe Sensei to see this group name one or more of their schools the “ Abbe Ryu “ If that is not misleading fraud? then I don’t know what is.
This group claim to be teaching the true priciples of KyuShinDo. They have the audacity to claim that Mr Mayo `` helped `` Abbe Sensei to develope KyuShinDo.

In 1965 my brother & I joined G.S.Mayos Bristol club practising Judo.We attained the rank of brown belt going for our Shodan.We joined a karate club near us & were automatically members of a Judo club run by a 3rd Dan.Imagine our embarassment when we were easily defeated by orange belts.The sensei told us that Mayos judo was rubbish & that he could only grade us to yellow belt.He told us that he had visited mayos club & was ordered out once Mr.Mayo dicovered he held a 3rd Dan & refused to go on the mat with him when asked.When I asked Mr.Mayo who graded him to 7th Dan(as he was then)he refused to answer.I now ask who the hell graded him to 10th Dan.My brother & I were both expelled from the Bristol club for practising other styles.Mayo said that he didn`t want his pupils subjected to the brutality of other styles,what he really meant was that he didn`t want his judo/karate exposed for the charade it was.Also I have studied some Japanese & the characters on Mayos kyushindo badge do not say "Kyushindo".In fact they are not any Japanese Kanji at all.I have looked through my book & they dont exist.More Mayo porkies?

ReplyDeleteThank you for your message, which sums up very well the feedback that I am getting on this group..Students such as you and your brother join a dojo in all honesty and innocence only to find out you have wasted both your money and your time neither of which you can ever get back.
